Spring Celebration
of the Arts
Save the Date
Thursday Evening, April 27, 2017
The Friends School Haverford Spring Celebration of the Arts showcases the creative expanse of our arts curriculum. Under the direction of our art teacher, Amy Kiely, a sampling of each student's artwork is exhibited throughout the school. Later in the evening, students in grades 1-8 will present a musical program, displaying a variety of styles, which is the culmination of their year-long study in music with Tr. Ed Nardi. There will also be a performance by the Kwaya Marimba Group. The kids worked hard, so please stay for the entire performance.
*Please note, all after-school activities will be CLOSED in preparation for the Spring Celebration. This includes Extended Day, LARKs, and ASAs.

Speaker Series
We kicked off our speaker series with a panel discussion on "Different Bodies, Different Minds, One Learning Community." Tr. Matt facilitated our four panelists: Adam Rosenblatt, Angela Putman, Amy McCann, and Al Vernacchio. Each presented their area of expertise including race, sexuality, inclusion, social justice, and neurodiversity which led to open discussion and interesting conversation. We hope to offer another panel discussion on a related topic in the fall.
